Insider tip: climb the Buchberg Tower around midnight on New Year's Eve. You'll have a spectacular view of the fireworks within a 25-kilometer radius. Of course, you can also celebrate beforehand at the Buchberg Grill.

The great 360 degree panorama from the viewing platform is amazing.

The tower is a relic from the early days of hiking: over 100 years old, 30 meters high, this landmark on a 232-meter-high Spessart hill attracts day-trippers. 150 steps lead up to the small viewing platform, where you can enjoy views towards the Kinzig Valley and the Vogelsberg Mountains, as well as the Rhön and Taunus ranges.

The Buchberg Association was founded in November 1906, and the tower was completed in 1909. The official inauguration took place on May 29, 1910. - Text adapted from information provided by the Buchberggrill Restaurant.

A magnificent view is guaranteed in good weather. The platform is quite small and narrow; if several people are walking around, it quickly becomes very cramped. A head for heights is definitely recommended 🛕😉
